Nobody

The attitude of our main character is seen through the book of Invisble Man is of great importance for reasons such his inclination towards always being submissive. In his incident with Mr. Norton, he would do just as the man would say, ending in the post slave cabins. These small mistake did have a great cost on the character's life, since he ended up expelled.

It must be taken into account the discussion between the college director Dr. Blesdoe and the character. There are many details that came from the director, specially his way of acting superior to the white people and even his own race. This is noticed by the way in which Bledsoe desperatley tries to act against the white people and the reasons for his acting since every african american is invisible, such as our main character. Bledsoe does not tolerate the way in which the white people feel superior since he furiously asks the boy, " He ordered you." (pg. 139) As Ellijah italices this particular word, ordered, it recalls back to the time of slavery. Just as our character, he obeys. Dr. Bledsoe thinks he is superior to the white people, thus he still diminishes a person like him by saying " Nigger" (pg. 139). Even if he was fighting against the white control, he is making part of it by acting just like one of them.

Although our main character seems to be submissive, he still tries to fight for his place at college, however, he does not succeed. He retreats from his fight since the director tells him the truth of " You're nobody, son. You don't exist- can't you see that?" (pg. 143).
